Re: what to do about nosebleeds?

I suffered terrible nose bleeds while on TCH. They would last a long time. The blood would run out making a huge mess. It frightened my co-workers when they saw how quick it came on. It was a sore in my nose that needed cauterized. I used neosporin while it healed but had to be careful not to disrupt the healing process when applying it. The cauterization was a success!
